ADVANCED BLOOD TESTING

Advanced IN House Blood Screening

A CBC (complete blood count) and chemistry profile is an important component
of wellness blood work that your veterinarian may want to perform during
your pet’s regular checkups.

A CBC and chemistry profile can help determine the state of your pet’s
health and diagnose illness or injury. Minimal risk is associated with
performing a CBC and chemistry profile, and the information gained is
invaluable. Blood testing is commonly used to help diagnose disease or
pinpoint injury in animals. It can also help determine the state of your
pet’s health during regular physical exam visits. Although a CBC
or a chemistry profile can be performed separately, these tests are frequently
done at the same time; when the results are interpreted together, they
provide a good overview of many of the body’s functions. As with
any other diagnostic test, results of a CBC and chemistry profile are
not interpreted in a vacuum. Your veterinarian will combine this information
with physical exam findings, medical history, and other information to
assess your pet’s health status and determine if additional testing
should be recommended

ALLERGY TESTING/DERMATOLOGY

The most common types of allergies in pets are flea allergy, food allergy,
and a condition called atopy. Atopy is sometimes called atopic dermatitis
or allergic inhalant dermatitis, and it occurs when allergens that are
inhaled or that contact the skin cause an allergic reaction in the body.
In dogs (and, less commonly, cats), this allergic reaction is focused
largely in the skin. Animals with atopy become very itchy; the resultant
scratching can lead to skin injuries and subsequent skin infections. Atopy
is usually first noticed in dogs younger than 3 years of age, although
older pets can also be affected. Unfortunately, some pets that develop
atopy continue to have problems throughout their lives.

BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS

Blood transfusions have many uses and can be critical, lifesaving procedures.
Blood loss that occurs suddenly due to trauma may require an emergency
transfusion to save a patient’s life. However, not all blood transfusion
situations are related to injury. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy,
surgical patients, pets with advanced kidney or liver disease, cats with
feline leukemia, and pets with bleeding or clotting disorders are some
examples of other patients that may require transfusion with blood or
blood products.

Our transfusion service allows us to provide blood and blood products for
veterinary patients’ medical, surgical, or emergency needs. All
blood is carefully screened for safety, handled carefully to help ensure
delivery of healthy cells, and administered by experienced professionals.
Our staff has been extensively trained and will handle your pet with care
and compassion.

CANCER MANAGEMENT

Our goal of cancer management in the veterinary patient is to use all the
resources at our disposal to prolong good quality of life for your pet
and provide education to our clients to make decisions that work for them.
